Area of operations will be reduced to that previously approved by the local authority having jurisdiction. Conditions, other than Odyssey Putter Line operations addressed or described herein are outside the scope of this report. Adjacent high piled storage conditions, separated from Odyssey Putter Line by 10 feet, is addressed in the Fire Protection Technical Opinion & Report dated January 8, 2002. Discrepancies between the information presented herein and actual conditions presented on the plans are the sole responsibility of the Callaway Golf Design Team. Verification of compliance with requirements and provisions addressed herein rests with the authority having jurisdiction and is outside the scope of this report. Daryl K. James & Associates will demonstrate, through code references that, Odyssey Putter Line operations, construction, egress and fire protections systems will be in full compliance with the 1998 editions of the California Building Code, California Fire Code, California Mechanical Code and nationally recognized standards as they relate to the described use and occupancy. Negative Impact Callaway Golfs proposal to return golf club assembly operations back to the area of origin at 2885 Rutherford Road, previously approved by the Carlsbad Building and Fire Departments, in 1999. This report is provided as technical support to plans submitted by Smith Consulting Architects, and includes mechanical drawings by Walsh Engineering detailing a decrease in duct size resulting in an increase in exhaust system-conveying velocity from 3000 FPM to 4,400 FPM necessary for relocated equipment. This report will substantiate the opinion of this report preparer that the existing and proposed fire protection measures, designed for this building in 1999, will be more than adequate to protect the proposed return of equipment. IV PURPOSE OF REPORT • · Identify and develop methods of protection from special hazards presented by the storage, use and handling of hazardous materials considered hazardous as per CFC classification, dust-producing equipment, oven and laser operations. • Present a design analysis relative to the acceptance of technologies, processes, products, facilities, materials and uses attending the design, operation or use of the building.

Special hazardous conditions as per CBC Section 306.8 will be addressed in this report. (Technical Reference· #1) VIII GENERAL FIRE PROTECTION & LIFE-SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Sprinkler Design Criteria As per NFPA 13 Section 2-1.3 Extra Hazard Occupancies are: occupancies or portions of occupancies where the quantity and combustibility of contents is very high and dust, lint, or · other materials are present introducing the probability of rapidly developing fries with high rates of heat release. The distinction between Extra Hazardous Group 1 and Extra Hazard Group . 2 is that the latter group includes moderate to substantial amounts of flammable or combustible liquids or where shielding of combustibles is extensive.

JAMES & ASSOCIATES, INC. ~ A Fire Code Resource XIII FUMES& VAPORS Golf Club Wipe work stations for the use of Golf Club Wipe and Isopropyl Alcohol, Class I-B flammable liquids, are equipped with approved self closing cans for spent towels. Vapors from Class I, II and III-A liquids used or dispensed in "open-system" conditions will be exhausted through a Class 2 Product Conveying Exhaust System. A mechanically operated exhaust ventilation system sufficient· to produce six air changes per hour will be provided. Such ventilation will be taken from a point at or vapor generation in accordance with CBC 1202.2.2 to prevent hazardous vapor conditions. Conveying velocity will be 4,400 FPM in accordance with CMC Table 5-A. Equipment is equipped to ventilate vapors heavier than air Oxsol 100 and Ascol 7525. Concentration is maintained at 25% below LFL. As shown in mechanical exhaust air movement calculations, exhaust ventilation per fume hood, the CFM provided will maintain 25% or less of the LFL of all flammable ·and combustible liquids dispensed. Therefore, the requirements of CMC Section 505.1 and 609. 7 are not applicable. In addition, fire sprinklers will not be required in the hood and ducting. XIV PREVENTION OF DUST EXPLOSIONS Dust Collection As per CFC Article 76, the dust collection system previously installed for golf club assembly . operations will be reinstalled on all equipment that produces pulverizeq. particles which if mixed with air in the proper proportions. Become explosive and could be ignited by a flame or a spark or other sources of ignition. Note: There will be no new materials collected by the exhaust system, therefore, there will be no incompatible mixture issues to address. This section addresses the minimum requirements for the use of titanium, graphite and stainless steel. The amount of dust created by sanding is minimal. The risk is comparable to flammable elements that are below 25% of their LFL. Sanding operations create small amounts of titanium dust, which will not ignite spontaneously. Fine particles of titanium in the form of dust will not spontaneously ignite, as do zirconium, plutonium, and certain other metals. As per NFPA 481, ignition temperatures of titanium dust clouds in the air range from 630° - 1,090° F (330° -590° C) and titanium dust layers from 720° -950° F (380° -510° C). It has been found under test conditions that spontaneous ignition will only occur in pure oxygen at pressures of at least 350 psi. If oxygen was diluted and the required pressure increased, no spontaneous combustion heating would occur in oxygen concentrations less than 35%. With oxygen comprising 21 % of our atmosphere and with normal atmospheric pressure of 14. 70 psi, the level of fire risk from spontaneous combustion is practically eliminated. I I I I ·I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Callaway Golf Page 9 of 14 DARYL K. JAMES & ASSOCIATES, INC. ~ A Fire Code Ree;ouroe The following design criteria is used in the desi~ of these systems: • Contaminants will be collected at each workstation and conveyed directly into the product-conveying system. • The minimum velocity in these ducts will be 4,400 fpm as per CMC Table 5-A Minimum Conveying Velocities. • Makeup air will be supplied by the building's HV AC system to replace the exhausted air as per CMC Section 505.6. • All dust collection systems will be interlocked so that the protected piece of equipment cannot be used without activation of the dust collection system. • A manually operated remote control switch in an approved location. As per CMC Section 505.1, ducts conveying explosives or flamniable vapors fumes of dusts shall extend directly to the exterior of the building without entering other spaces and there will be no penetration of these ducts into less hazardous areas. Exception: Ducts conveying vapors of fumes below 25% of their LEL may pass through other spaces. This exception 1s applied to the penetration of the exhaust system as shown in mechanical plans. The dust collection system will be in compliance with CMC -Chapters 5 & 6. The product- conveying dust system will convey low concentrations of abrasive/highly abrasive materials, with such conditions addressed through the CMC as Class 2 product conveying exhaust systems. Exhaust systems will be designed, constructed maintained and operated as to prevent harmful exposure by maintaining a volume and velocity of exhaust sufficient to gather dusts, fumes, mists, and vapors or gases from said equipment process, and to convey them to suitable points of safe disposal, thereby preventing their dispersion in harmful quantities into the atmosphere of work spaces where people are employed. (Technical Reference #7) The following four basic components make up exhaust system: • Hood, or entry point of the system; • Duct system, which transfers air; • Air-cleaning device, which removes contaminants from the air; and • Air-moving device, which provic;les motive power for overcoming system resistance. Motors and Fans Motors and fans will be of the type approved for use in areas containing flammable vapors of dusts and sized to accommodate the required volume, required velocities, duct and fitting presses losses and fan characteristics.

All fumes and vapors will be captured at their point of use and exhausted to the atmosphere through fume ducts. The Odyssey Putter Line will meet the criteria of six air changes in ' accordance with CBC Section 1202.2.2. Each station will be equipped with fume vapor exhaust ducts. Oxsol 100 used for the -gripping operation and Actol 8515 for shaft wiping is equipped with downdraft collection. The remaining materials specified in the Hazardous Materials Inventory Statement (HMIS) have.very low vapor pressures. Materials used do not readily enter the vapor state unless they are subject to an elevated temperature. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Callaway Golf Page 11 of 14 DARYL K. JAMES & ASSOCIATES. INC. ~ A Fire Code Regourae XV MAINTENANCE & HOUSEKEEP1NG Maintenance of the dust collection system will include continual visual inspections of the interior of the ducting system to prevent unsafe combustible dust residue. Additionally, ducts will be services quarterly in order to provide optimal performance. The following will be routine housekeeping practices: • Ducts will be cleaned and logged on a quarterly basis • Accumulation of dust shall be kept at a minimum throughout building • Accumulated dust on floors and other surfaces shall be collected by vacuum cleaning daily and removed to a safe storage or disposal area. Forced-air or similar devices shall not be used to remove dust from surfaces. • Combustible materials will not be stored in· titanium working areas. • Any open flame device shall be prohibited ip. areas containing dust-producing operations • Smoking will be prohibited in the building • No open flames or electric or gas cutting or welding equipment will be used for repair of machinery is operating. • All scrap material to be stored in noncombustible containers as per NFPA 481 Chapter 6. XVI LASER OPERATION Classification As per 3-322 of the Fire Protection Handbook, based on the aqility of the primary laser beam to cause biological damage to the eye or skin directly or if reflections are viewed, and present a fire hazard, it has been determined that laser operations be classified as Class 4 as per the American National Standards Institute classification system. However, based on this specific application of enclosing laser operations inside a fully noncombustible enclosure equipped with an interlocking dust collection system, this operation has previously been classified and approved as Class 1. (Technical Reference #8) Electrical Hazards Electrical safety devices such as fuses, circuit breakers, insulation, grounding devices and interlocks can effectively control electrical hazards commonly associated with lasers of all types. In the event that capacitors are used, precaution must be taken to prevent shorting or internal electrical faults, which can cause capacitor rupture, fires or explosions. Capacitors should be isolated within screens, shields, barriers, or uninhabited rooms designed to protect against shock, bums and fire, and contain fragments from an explosive capacitor failure. Covers or doors to capacitors should be interlocked to prevent charging (when open) by dumping and grounding the capacitors. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Callaway Golf Page 12 of 14 DARYL K. JAMES & ASSOCIATES, INC. " A Fire Code Re6ouroe Laser Beam Hazards & Preventive Measures The following administrative precautions are most effective in fire prevention: • The beam intensity profile and alignment should be verified prior to use. • Appropriate bean stop materials should be in place. • Adjacent materials should be noncombustible. • Prior to the operation of a laser, all appropriate personnel should be familiar with emergency procedures, including exit locations, use of fire extinguishers, and laser shutdown procedures. Efforts should be made to ensure that the responding fire department is aware of the hazards of the lasers. • It is imperative that all persons working with a laser be thoroughly instructed in the nature of the hazards and in the operation of the fire-fighting equipment provided. • Instructions should be augmented by frequent drills so that proper action can be taken immediately upon the occurrence of hazardous conditions. Instructions and drills should be so comprehensive and specific that no time is lost in considering alternative procedures or other decision-making. • All personnel working with and using a_ laser should be trained on how to immediately shut down and de-energize the laser.

FOREWORD Explosions and fires in fuel-fired and electric heat utilization equipment constitute a loss potential in life, property, and production. This standard is a compilation of guidelines, rules, and methods applicable to the safe operation of this type of equipment. There· are other conditions and regulations not covered in this standard, such as toxic vapors; hazardous materials; noise levels; heat stress; and local, state, and federal regulations (BP A and OSHA), that should be considered when designing and operating furnaces. Causes of practically all failures can be traced to human error. The most significant failures include inadequate training of operators, lack of proper maintenance, and improper application of equ:ipment. Users and designers must utilize engineering skill to bring together that proper combination of controls and training necessary for the safe (?peration of the equipment. This standard classifies furnaces as follows. Class A ovens and furnaces are heat utilization equipment operating at approximately atmospheric pressure wherein there is a potential explosion or fire hazard that could be occasioned by the presence of flammable volatiles or combustible materials processed or heated in the furnace. Such flammable volatiles or combustible materials can, for instance, originate from any of the following: (1) paints, powders, inks, and adhesives fro111 finishing processes, such as dipped, coated, sprayed, and impregnated materials; (2) substrate m~terial; (3) wood, paper, and plastic pallets, spacers, or packaging materials; or ( 4) polymerization or other molecular rearrangements. Potentially flammable materials, such as quench oil, water-borne finishes, cooling oil, or cooking oils, that present a hazard are ventilated according to Class A standards. Class B ovens and furnaces are heat utilization equipment operating at approximately atmospheric pressure wherein there are no flammable volatiles or cqmbustible materials being heated. Class C ovens and furnaces are those in which there is a potential hazard due to a flammable or other special atmosphere being used for treatment of material in process. This type of furnace can use any type of heating system and includes a special atmosphere supply system(s).

Covers or doors :o ,·apJ,'llQr, should be 111terlocked to prevent charging (when open) C") dumping and grounding the capacitors. Laser Beam Hazards The bser beam from Class 4, and some Class 3 lasers. is powerful enough to 1gnne combustible materials. The ignition hazard applies in al I applications of la,er use, e.g .. health care, industrial, manu faclur- rng commercial. research, and military. Some lasers are "embedded 1:isers" and can be called Class I lasers by the ANSI classification sys- tern. They are, in fact, a higher class laser (generally a Class 4 I and the beam is a fire hazard. There are many different precautions that can be taken 10 : imize the potential for fire from the laser beam 1gn1t1on haz· Some of them are physical controls; however, the maJority o(. precautions are administrative. The beam 1ntens1ty profile: alignment should be verified prior lo use. Appropriate beams· materials should be in place. Attention needs 10 be given to the terials adjacent to the laser beam; they must not be combustible Particular attention is required when using lasers 1n the heal care field.
